I hope to get a few old ones written in Russian someday, and also a few autographs of great players

Id love to get a Petrosian autograph someday. Fischers auto is faked more than every other chess player (or so I hear) so I doubt I will ever make a big purchase on him.
one that would seem affordable (for living players) would be Matthew Sadler. great player, seems like a cool guy too.
I have a small collection of chess variants:
- Seirawan Chess
- Omega Chess
- Proteus
- Bosworth
- Minister's Chess
- Knightmare Chess
- Cross Chess
- Card Chess
- Tile Chess
- Star Trek Chess
And while they're not exactly chess variants, I also have sets for Shogi and Xiang-qi. I also made boards so that I could play Capablanca Chess and Glinski's Hexagonal Chess.
As a (younger) child I would recieve many chess boards as gifts. Over time, I unknowingly had developed an extensive collection that includes:
1 from guatamala
1 from honduras
1 from indonesia
1 from China
2 from Israel
1 from St. Martin (Caribbean)
4 from USA
I wonder if anyone else has any interesting chess collections?
